Back on-topic: I really do hope that the new movies are all original. I don't mind if they use The twins (Jacen & Jaina) and Ben and what not - but the plot itself should be unique from any EU novels or comics.

It seems to me that this was entirely between Lucasfilm and Rovio. What makes you think Disney was involved?

Also, what's wrong with Angry Birds: Star Wars? It's just Rovio giving AB: Space a Star Wars treatment. It's not like this commanded Lucasarts' attention preventing us from getting a 'proper' game in that time period..
